Robinhood Unleashes AI-Powered Trading and Crypto Futures

Robinhood is expanding its trading capabilities with AI-controlled accounts and crypto derivatives. The company launched Agentic Trading in beta on May 27, allowing customers to connect third-party artificial-intelligence agents to a dedicated Robinhood account funded only with deposited money.

Initially, the accounts supported equities, enabling agents to place trades, generate portfolio analysis, and run strategies like mean-reversion trading. Robinhood plans to add options, crypto, event contracts, and futures in the future.

Crypto perpetual futures are also available to eligible European customers through Bitstamp's exchange, offering leverage of up to three times. This product allows traders to keep positions open without a fixed settlement date, increasing exposure and potential gains or losses.
